Mmm... I don't know what the heck that website is talking about. There are two ways of celebrating birthdays in Peru:
-To throw a party with music, drinks (lots of them) and food
or
-To organize a lunch or dinner
The first option is for the youngest people, the second option is for older people or when it is a more familiar celebration.
The best parties are when both things happen, start with some lunch, dinner or peruvian BBQ and end up with a party.
This celebrations occur in all the social classes (I've been from the most traditional parties in some Peruvian Andes towns to some congressmen's sons parties)

Traditions from Around the World:
Birthday Celebrations from Peru
In Peru guests at a birthday party might receive two kinds of party favors. These are called favors recordatorio, which means souvenir. The first favor is a goody box or bag. The second is a pin made in honor of the event. These pins are so elaborate that some children might collect them.
At these parties the children almost always receive fancy paper hats. The child who's birthday it is has a hat shaped like a crown, because it is there birthday.
The official language is Spanish
